HBO Confirms Industry Season 4 US Release Window
Boardroom bloodsport is back: the hit financial drama storms into the new year with bigger deals and sharper betrayals.
Good news for the finance freaks among us: Industry finally has a real return window, and it is not quite as far off as it felt.
US return window locked
HBO boss Casey Bloys says Industry season 4 is now aiming for January 2026 in the US. Translation: a few more months of waiting, not an eternity. He also made it clear he wants the show to get some awards love stateside, which it oddly has not yet pulled off.
"I would love to see that show and those performers break through."
The US has been slow to catch on, but the UK has not. Marisa Abela picked up a Leading Actress BAFTA for playing Yasmin, which is a big deal and well deserved.
The BBC has not announced a UK date for season 4 yet. If they stick to the usual playbook, HBO will air weekly in the US, then BBC iPlayer will drop the full run at once after the finale. That points to March or April 2026 for the UK binge.
Season 4 will look different
Season 3 blew up the board: Pierpoint’s London trading floor closed and the core crew scattered. Where we left them:
Harper was starting her own fund with plans to run it out of New York. Eric was unemployed. Yasmin was heading toward a wedding with Sir Henry Muck. And Rishi… let’s just say things looked dicey.
There is a fresh wave of players coming in, and one notable face bowing out.
- New additions: Max Minghella, Kiernan Shipka, Jack Farthing, Toheeb Jimoh, Amy James-Kelly, Kal Penn, Charlie Heaton, and Claire Forlani.
Not returning: Harry Lawtey. Scheduling conflicts mean no Robert Spearing in season 4, even though last we saw him he was jumping to a psilocybin start-up. That thread will not be followed this time.
The Kenny question (and the Pierpoint void)
Beyond that, HBO is keeping details tight. Earlier this year, Conor MacNeill (Kenny) was asked if he is back, and his answer matched the chaos of the finale:
"Kenny's gone from Pierpoint – at the end of season 3, Pierpoint is gone itself. I don't know is the God's honest truth. It felt very explosive."
Which tracks. The show just detonated its central location. Season 4 feels like a reset.
